Forces & Work Vocab

AB
AccelerationThis is a change in velocity per time.
DistanceThis is the measured value (always positive) from one point to another.
EnergyThe capacity for doing work. It may be transformed from one form to another.
ForceIn the second law of motion it is Mass X Acceleration. The ability to apply a change in velocity on a given object.
GravityThis is an attractive force between any two objects due to mass.
InertiaThis is a measure of resistance to motion, by an object.
JouleThis is the SI (metric) unit of energy or work.
KilogramThis is the standard SI (metric) unit of mass.
MassThis is a measure of the quantity of matter.
Mechanical AdvantageThe ratio of resistance force to effort force.
MeterThis is the standard SI (metric) unit of length.
MotionThis is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point.
NewtonThis is the SI (metric) unit of force.
Newton's First LawA law of motion that states that an object at rest stays at rest and one in motion stays in motion.
SecondThis is the SI unit of time.
TimeThis is a number, as of years, days, minutes, or seconds representing such an interval. The SI standard unit of this is the second.
VelocityThis is a change in distance per time.
WeightThis is the vertical force exerted by a mass as a result of gravity, expressed in pounds or Newtons.
workThe process of changing the energy of a system by means of forces. Force x Distance
